Chat about RNS510 installation into T5.2

[Philbie]

It sure does work, I had one fitted also.

Have you had any issues or glitches with the RNS install sharkie? VWA told me that there's a wiring issue and they can't be fitted to a T5GP after the fact... yet

You should ask them "what issue", maybe they were still thinking T5 before the facelift?

I'd like to fit RNS510 into my T5 and that would require some wiring and canbus changes. So, I'll probably leave it as is, since the T6 can't be that far.

Thanks. I just bought a Transporter that already has a RNS510 fitted. Dont take delivery for a few weeks though.

Sorry for asking, but, what is an OPC?

[T5Pete]

it takes 2 mins. pri off the top cover with something nice like a spoon. just take care, then the surround unscrews and pulls off.

Thanks for the info.

does or can the rcd510 integrate with the MFD and MF wheel?

[Foxpuppet]

Cheers for that, yeah it was mainly the coding that I was inquiring about as I figured you need specialist knowledge like sharkies to do it. I have the mf wheel and mfd to account for so forewarned is forearmed I suppose.

Just dropped a rcd510 from my golf into the MV these are alot easier to use with MDI than the 310, picked this up on ebay for $280 not bad if you dont want the navigation.


the bug

[Foxpuppet]

yeah bug i amin 2 minds about this... i use a garmin GPS which is VERY good at navigation, but i want the touchscreen etc maybe hook up the reverse camera if i find i have trouble with parking the van and work on site etc. what are your thoughts on the rcd510? very cheap option and save the hassle of the nav updates etc (i have lifetime updates with garmin)
